Team Motul Suzuki press release:

Team Motul Suzuki’s Matt Moss kicked of his 2015 Australian supercross championship defence in the best possible way last weekend at Bathurst, racing to a comfortable main event win.

The win was the seventh straight national supercross round victory for both Moss and the Suzuki RM-Z450 with the dynamic combination that have won the past two Australian Supercross championships ready to once again lead the way at Jimboomba, when the second round of the 2015 title heads to Queensland.

“I cannot wait to get back out on track this weekend,” Moss enthused. “The aim will be the same as every time I get behind the start gate, Ill be aiming for another clean sweep on Saturday night and want to walk away with an increase in the points lead.”

Moss along with a handful of other riders had the opportunity to ride the Jimboomba Supercross track just over two weeks ago as part of a medial launch for the venue, with Moss confident that this track will be one of the best ever seen in Australia and is expecting a huge night of entertainment, that he himself is looking to play a massive part in.

“I am looking forward to racing on the Jimboomba track, we cut a few laps there at a press day a couple of weeks back and the layout was a lot of fun. With a couple of tweeks they have made to the track it should be perfect for racing”

“Scott and his team have gone all out to make this round the best Australian Supercross ever seen, is going to be a big night.” Moss added.

For team-mate Kale Makeham the opening round of the 2015 championshp last weekend left him with a nasty ankle injury that included a small fracture and ligament damage after he miss timed a rhythm section during practice.

While able to complete the opening round, the Victorian rider has not been able to put any weight bearing pressure on the ankle all week and has had to make the tough decision to miss this weekends round of action with the hope of returning for round three at Wayville on the 31st of October.

“Unfortunately I won’t be racing this weekend,” Makeham commented. “At this point in time I have not been able to put any weight on my ankle” “We have made the decision to sit out this weekends race and hopefully will return for round three in a few weeks time.” Makeham added.

Catch Team Motul Suzuki in action this Saturday the 17th of October for round two of the championship being held in Jimboomba, Qld.
